SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC Form 580, (Interrogatory
on Fuel and Energy Purchase Practices

Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal
Power Act).
OMB Control No.: 1902–0137.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC Form 580 with no changes
to the current reporting requirements.
Abstract: The Commission collects
FERC Form 580 information every other
year as required under Section 205(f)(2)
of the FPA as amended by Section 208
of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies
Act of 1978 (PURPA). The Commission
uses the information collected through
the FERC Form 580 interrogatory to
review utility purchase and cost
recovery practices through automatic
adjustment clauses (AACs) in order to
ensure efficient use of resources.1 The
Commission uses the information to
evaluate costs in individual rate filings
and to supplement periodic utility
audits. The public also uses the
information in this manner. Without the
FERC Form 580 interrogatory, the
Commission would not have the
requisite information available to
conduct the necessary review the FPA
mandates.
Type of Respondents: The filing must
be submitted by all FERC-jurisdictional
utilities owning and/or operating at
least one steam-electric generating
station of 50 MW or greater capacity or
having a majority ownership interest in
a jointly-owned steam-electric
generating station of at least 50 MW. A
jurisdictional utility without a costbased tariff on file with the Commission
is not required to file the form.
Estimate of Annual Burden.2 The
Commission estimates the annual 3
public reporting burden and cost 4 for
the information collection as:
